‘Schumachers’ and butterflies

Voronezh oblast occupies the leading position in terms of dairy and beef herd size development. In order to boost the milk yields and weight gain, the farmers turned their attention to forage and, respectively, to forage machinery.

Twenty dealers presented all possible solutions for forage harvesting at the dedicated Field Day in Ertil district. Over 100 guests visited this event. AgroCentre demonstrated the machinery for all types of enterprises.

Forage harvesting is a real 14-20-day race. Even a slight delay can lead to nutritive value decrease. The Massey Ferguson WR 9840 (137 hp), self-propelled mower is a true ‘Schumacher’, it suits large-scale farms perfectly well. Depending on crop density, the Massey Ferguson WR 9840 can work at a speed of up to 25 km/h.

AgroCentre’s specialists demonstrated high-speed forage harvesting and told the guests of the event about the machine’s features.

‘This mower has the most powerful cooling system сompared to the rival models', says Mikhail Petrov, Sales Manager of AgroCentreLiski, ‘due to the multiple stacked radiators, automatic torque control and automatic reversing every 15 minutes. Ground following can be easily adjusted while operating, by changing the lateral tilt, ground pressure and working mode, which increases the machine's performance.’

For smaller farms, the company demonstrated Challenger mowers coupled with the Fendt 722 Vario (220 hp) tractor.

The Challenger M991 TL windrower together with the Challenger M310 FZ front-mounted mower present an ideal 9-meter forage harvesting option. This combination ensures the best weight distribution, reduces tractor wear and makes it very manoeuverable in the field. Each mower component works independently in a floating mode, which ensures efficient mowing of grass of any density. The machine forms a neat bale without any dirt or foreign materials.

The windrowers are completely reliable, all cutter bar units are bolted together so they can be replaced in a matter of minutes. All attachments are equipped with mechanical damage protection system.
